I can see that all three of you have already completed your duties. Or perhaps these trays cleaned themselves while you discussed private matters concerning the royal family. We are sorry, ma. What exactly are you sorry for? Everything about his condition, his chances of recovery, whether the king still expects one of us to marry him, and whether the throne remains his.
His medical condition should not take away his position as Crown Prince. I never said that it should. For talking while we were supposed to be working. You are allowed to speak while working. Just focus on the task at hand. You are not allowed to gossip about private and painful matters involving the royal family.
We did not mean to cause any harm. People often say that after the harm has already been caused. You are the senior maid here, Helen. You should have known better than to allow this conversation to continue. I tried several times to stop them. She warned us many times. And both of you ignored every warning. The prince’s medical condition is not entertainment.
